  • Not everything is a fallacy because it is an appeal to authority, it becomes a fallacy when an otherwise illogical choice is appealed to simply because of authority.

    When somebody murders another person it is wrong, and it then falls on the public to decide what the best course of action is to prevent such things from happening again to people, including people like themselves. They decided a long time ago that the death sentence was easier than caging a man for life. Now you can try to argue that this is illogical, but you haven’t, you’ve simply argued that the public is wrong without any reasoning.

    Not just a reputable group of people, the public as a whole. Democracy. JFC, did you even read my reply?










  • It’s not a prerequisite for the first degree murder charges in Florida like it is in New York State, but I still think his actions qualify based on the state laws. Maybe we’ll hear more about what all he is or is not charged with when his court dates are announced, as was the case with Mangione.
